AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing label solutions for beverage cups and containers without premanufactured caps or lids lack effectiveness in preventing tampering and ensuring food safety, particularly in environments like bars where contamination risks are high.

Method used

A tamper evident label system comprising a liner-label combination, where the label separates into three portions - a middle portion that covers the opening, and top and bottom portions that adhere to the sides. The middle portion can be removed to provide evidence of tampering, and its separation is irreversible, preventing resealing.

Benefits of technology

The tamper evident label system effectively prevents tampering by ensuring that once the middle portion is removed, the opening cannot be resealed, providing consumers with assurance of the beverage's integrity and safety.

Abstract

A liner-label combination is provided for a tamper evident label. The combination includes a label substrate and a liner substrate. The label substrate includes label substrate die cuts that define a top portion, a middle portion, and a bottom portion for the label. The liner substrate includes liner substrate die cuts that correspond to the middle portion of the label. The top portion, middle portion, and bottom portion adapted to be separated from the liner substrate as a single label with a backside of the middle portion including the corresponding liner substrate defined by the liner substrate die cuts. The middle portion of the label adapted to cover an opening of an item and when removed from the opening, the middle portion separates from the top portion and the bottom portion along the label substrate die cuts providing evidence that the opening to the item was exposed.
